The Exciting Adventure OF Two Califor-
MIA Honey Ranchers.
The Hutchinson brothers have a
large apiary up at Victor Tejunga. 1t
is an isolated place, far from the real
estate booms and the haunts of men,.
But it is a good place for bees. and
there, as rule, they toll unmolested
except by their owners, the Hutchin-
son boys. The country is rugged. but
romantic. The quiet life of the little
rural retreat was turned into the
greatest excitement the other night.
While the HutchinsOns were asleep and
dreaming of the great sums of money
they would make this season, .
stranger entered the camp. He was
not slow in making his prefence felt
and heard. The sleepers were sudden
ly awakened by sounds that suggested
a small cyclone raging among the
stands of bees. One of the men got
mp. looked out of the window, and
what was his CONSERVATION and terror
TO see the faint outlines of huge
brown-colored monster upsetting the
beehives and working destruction with
property that took months and years
to accumulate. The surprised spec
tator fastened to his brothers bedside
and told what was gong on at the
apiary. The two rushed out. one tax
ing his rifle. The bear was evidently
hungry, for he made savage lunges at
the boxes filled with delicious honey.
He would take few mouthfuls out of
one frame and then go for another
stand. The Hutchinson boys con-
cluded that if they did not act on the
instant the bear would soon leave them
without,an occupation. The gun was
leveled and discharged.
The ball found its way through the
thick hide of bruin back of the left
shoulder. 1t was evidently ''center
shot," for the animal fell. But he re-
mained on the ground hut second.
He arose enraged with pain, and made
frantic plunges at the nearest hives.
Meanwhile, the men advanced . little.
The bear caught sight of them and
made a rush at them. When within
twenty feet of where they stood his
progress was arrested by another
leaden messenger. 1t struck n vital
part, and once more the huge bear fell.
This time he did not get up. A third
ball was put into hts side which caused
his death. Upon examination it was
found to be grizzly cub about two
thirds grown. Next day he was dressed
and weighed. The scales tipped ut
seven hundred pounds.
This is the second or third bear ever
killed or seen in that section.-L0s

Sun-stroke is best avoided by immed-
lately ceasing all mental or physical
effort as soon as the first symptoms of
prostration are felt, and, above all, by
avoiding the drinking of ice-water
when overheated. The head should be
protected by sunshade. and care
should be taken to keep the digestive
organs healthy by using light food.
When an attack occurs the patient
should be removed to a cool place and
placed in a recumbent position; cold
water or ice-bags should be applied to
the head, and mustard paste, capsicum
or other stimulants to the extremities
and over the stomach. Hartshorn

BLIGHT IN ORCHARDS.
The Only Effective Cure for This Serlou
Disease OF Fruit Trees.

Inc O0Iy Effective Curo IOf MS SeFIOUA
Disease OF Fruit Trees.
One of the most formidable diseases
to which fruit trees are liable is the
'.fire blight" 1t attacks the trees at
different periods of the growing sea-
son. from June to September, and gem
orally the young parts first. The leaves
flag, the sap OOzes out in globules

able odor, and the diseased branch
turns black. as if it had been burned
by fire. When the pear-tree is attacked
it is difficult matter 10 save it. the
disease spreads so rapidly, In apple
and ounce trees it is less fatal, rarely
killing more than Il portion of the tree.
Scientists and farmers alike differ in
their opinions rs to what causes fire
blight, whether it be the sun, the at
mosphere or an insect. Nor do author
tiles in the matter agree in their
treatment of fire blight. In the
opinion of the writer the only effect
i've and Trustworthy treatment is
to cut away. the very day the dis
ease is discovered. the bli GIFTED parts
into the healthy wood where there is
no trace of the disease. and burn up
Immediately all the diseased portions
cut Off Charles Downing said: when
fire blight has actually appeared. the
only remedy seems TO be the knife and
the saw. most vigorously applied. to
eradicate every symptom of diseased
and discolored bark or wood. If you
would save your tree. cut st once on
the first apparent symptom of the dis
ease. and be sure you cut 1t clean out.
P Barry says: The only remedy fof
fire blight is to cut instantly the blight
ed parts into the healthy wood and
burn them up Immediately"
Twig blight attacks the young shoots
of the current seasons growth and
causes these to wither and become
brown and curly in midsummer The
cause is uncertain and the injury is not
materially great. The remedy is cut
ting away at the first appearance OF
the trouble.
Apple blight like the dreaded fire
blight, is a serious disease. 1t attacks a
whole branch or limb. and someti mes
half of the top of tree is destroyed be-
fore it becomes apparent to an ordinary
observer. Again there is no remedy
except to cut away the deceased por-
tions and burn these up. The pear
leaf blight is a sort of rust that APP
pears on the leaves during July and
August, first in small brown spots.
These spots spread rapidly over the
leaves until their growth is stopped.
To avoid the evil effect of leaf blight the
great point is to get a rapid, vigorous
growth before midsummer.
Readers, especially those having
small experience, will doubtless be dis
appointed because q long list of So
called remedies has not been given for
blight-remedies such as are adver-
tiscd from year to year by many
writer's. These have been avoided be

THE CHINESE STAGE.


How Celestial Actors Refresh Themselves
DurlaG . Performance
The Chinese are great theater-goers,
and it would seem that with the good
patronage that their places Of amuse-
ment command, there would be some
cultivation of the dramatic art. What
ever may be the Chinese estimate Of
their players acting, to those who have
seen that Of almost any European or
American artist, it is without any mer-
It, writes q Shanghai correspondent
The lines are delivered IN q monot-
onous, sing-song style and the stage
settings are Of SO primitive character
that they add little to the interest of
the play. There il no curtain. The
stage is a platform that stands at Que
end of the theater, and there are no
flies and but little scenery. The actors
enter by door in the rear and at one
side of the platform, and when they
should depart betake themselves off
either in the same way in which they
entered or through a corresponding
door at the other side.
Not infrequently the spectators see
some one who has been decapitated or
disemboweled gather himself together
and walk off in a most miraculous and
unrealistic manner. There are no
women upon the stage, but the make
up of the men who take the feminine
characters is so good tina. they can
hardly be distinguished from the Chi
nese bellies upon the floor of the house.
Talking is INDUCED in by all, and
there is at times the greatest inatten-
ton. The main floor is filled with lit
tie tables, around which the play-go-
ers sit and drink. an smoke and chat,
and watch and listen.
The stage not only is not furnished
with those tiXings which go SO far to
make Il drama a success, but does not
seem to be reserved exclusively for the
performance. Around the sides are
those who have no parts, and one
would think no business there. Often
the curtain across the door of entrance
or of exit is pushed aside, and instead
of the actor whom the audience may
he looking for some child is seen, who
comes toddling in and perhaps right
across the stage. Tea boys or girls
circulate through the body Of the
house or across the stage, pouring hot
water into the little cups. in the bot
toms of which are a few tea leaves.
Watermelon seeds seem favorite ac-
compartment of the national beverage,
for little plates full of them are on
every table. The Chinese munich these
with the greatest satisfaction.
When some actor has finished par
ticularly long haranguc he quietly
turns around and drains one of the
cups, which a supernumerary standing
by hands him. There is frequently, in
troductory to the regular performance,
Juggling or tumbling. The plays
themselves are said to be. as . rule,
quite immoral and the language very
low. The dressings are very rich, and
the beautifully coloSed and embroid-
cred silks and satins, in which the bet
ter classes of the Chinese clothe them
selves, show to great advantage on the
stage. Chicago Tribune.
